ALPINE STATE OF MIND - Jason Hummel Photography
When Kyle and I set out for the DaKobed Range, we had a freshly acquired map and a weeks worth of food. Neither of us knew much about the traverse or the way ahead, but that didn’t stop us from cracking a plan. We’d go in Boulder Pass, climb Glacier Peak and exit Indian Creek Trail. With a cloud of bugs, heavy packs, we put shoe to trail at 8 p.m. By then we were already wondering what we had gotten ourselves into, but any considerations were lost in a flurry of feet and arms fighting the awful mosquito and her buzzing hoards.

In the DaKobed Range there are many glaciers, most less than their fomer glory. Where I stood in this photo probably wasn't so long ago covered in the ice of the Honeycomb Glacier. I found this color heartening. It shows that life will cling to anything, even if just by a thread. In this case Indian Paint Brush beneath Tenpeak in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of Washington State.
